Has anyone seen this brand before? Apparently it is eInk.

yes - the top two models are eInk. They look ok, if a bit basic. The screens look good though.

I bought the cheap Dash - with an LCD screen. Probably the cheapest ebook reader in the world! Only $129. Works well too - but only works inside - useless anywhere near outdoors.

I reviewed the OEM version of the 6001:

Thanks for the review Nate

A friend noticed it in a catalogue. I will refer him to your review for further information. Cheers

Since the 6001 is already covered I thought I'd shed some light on the W960: I bought one a few weeks back and returned it five days later. I've blogged about the experience so people can get a better idea of what the reader is like.

I really liked the look and feel of it, but the software and awful battery life ruined it, amongst other things.

Hi,

Don't touch Pico Life W960. I have bad experience with it ! first unit stoped working after 3 weeks(the screen freezed, and unit not reboot even the reset button pressed). I Got replacement and found it's not 8 grey scale as printed in the box...

Also the touch buttons too sensitive !!! menu pop up easily by any accidental touch...
